Howdy,

A few hours ago, I was smoking a cigarette outside and looking up at the sky. Suddenly, I saw something that looked like this:

· ––––––

A small glowing dot (like a plane light) and a glowing trail

(from the looks of it, it wasn’t a meteor)

It moved with the speed of a plane from right to the left.

Maybe Starlink?

I could have checked my ADS-B monitoring for planes but I haven’t set that up outside :/ my antenna is also small.

    Starlink looks a lot like this when new satellites are moving into their final orbit, basically a string of dots slowly moving across the sky. I happened to see some last winter; it was pretty trippy to watch.

      The trail was a single line, not multiple dots though. I asked someone nearby, and the person confirmed he can see it as well.
